Hamburg Beer Week 2024

The Hamburg Beer Week #HHBW24 is just around the corner! With over 40 events and 25 locations, the festival brings together Hamburg brewers, producers, and manufacturers for the fifth time. For the second time, the event takes place as part of the Open Mouth Hamburg Food Festival.

With the theme ‘Back to the Roots,’ this year is all about regional producers, as well as the origin and quality of local raw materials. Visitors can look forward to presentations, workshops, and tastings, where they can learn more about the collaboration between local agricultural producers and Hamburg breweries. The idea is to discover local products and take a look at current brewing processes and recipes.

Program highlights 2024:

Collaboration Brew ‘Hans Blank’ from August 1.
This year’s highlight: The HHBW Collab Brew from Wildwuchs Brewery, Hamburg’s first organic brewery. In this globally unique collaborative project, all participating Hamburg breweries have jointly brewed a Wheat Ale this year. Each brewery contributed its own brewing water, malt, and hops, leading to a unique taste experience. The limited-edition beer will not only be served during the festival week in September but will also be available in stores from August.

Brewers Boat Trip on September 12.
The Opening Cruise kicks off the HHBW. All participating breweries of the Hanseatic city each select a special beer for the trip through the harbor. The evening boat trip on the Elbe offers the perfect opportunity to taste a variety of Hamburg beers and learn more about the 2024 beer highlights directly from the brewers. Also, enjoy various fish sandwiches that pair perfectly with the draft beers.

New! HHBW Joint Stand at the eat&style Food Festival on September 14 & 15.
For the first time, Hamburg Beer Week is represented with a joint stand at the eat&style Festival. Over 7,000 visitors are expected in the heritage-protected fruit and vegetable halls of the Hamburg wholesale market. In the pop-up kitchens, Hamburg chefs present a variety of tasting portions and, together with the brewers, a large selection of local Hamburg beers.

Cherry Sour Release from August 29.
The ÜberQuell Cherry Sour is a fresh and punchy trip from Altes Land to St. Pauli. With 500 kg of sour cherries, half as juice, half as whole cherries, the beer gets a boost at the end of fermentation. The result: A refreshing sour, reminiscent of cherry lollipops with a green stem – simply irresistible! Release party on August 29 here at ÜberQuell.

Pizza Workshop on September 15.
Have you always dreamed of creating your own pizza? With us, this idea becomes reality! With our dough and under relaxed guidance, you bake a variety of pizzas – everything revolves around hamburger tomatoes, from the mild to the sweet to the spicy nightshade plants. You will receive a guided tour of our GreenPauli community garden and harvest fresh herbs and vegetables directly from the roof garden. You can also make your own pesto with fresh basil and our favorite spices. Our pizza workshop takes place as part of the Open Mouth Food Festival.

Brew your own on September 15.
Full, tipsy, and smarter than before – that’s how participants usually leave our brewing event, which takes place together with the ÜberQuell Brewery in Hamburg St. Pauli. For about five hours, you’ll enjoy craft beer specialties directly from the storage tank, feast on crispy pizza directly from the stone oven, and also learn to brew your own beer!

To start, hosts Danny and Jörg from Besserbrauer will chat a bit about craft beer and the basics of craft beer brewing. Meanwhile, the first fresh draft beer will already be served. The brewing course takes place as part of the Open Mouth Food Festival.
